Might chance one myself so, but as im in roughly the same area as you, i wont expect much

none listed now unfortunately, anyone have another reliable alternative

I bought one from the link below (posted earlier in the thread) and it works fine apart from the remote control, although I think that could be a software issue as it is sending a signal.

Paid 4.70eur with following discount codes.

Another unhappy ellieshang customer, still waiting (ordered Nov 4th).
Is there a support group for victims of the Hong Kong Postal Service?

Sounds good... Staring straight out my window at it now right next to CIT so this should be a gold mine for signal strength but i've a feeling i'll have to wait until i buy from another source:(

Did the people that ordered from ellieshang get a dispatched email?
I got an email saying it was dispatched on 11/11.
Hoping to get this soon.

I'm in Lucan so would I be right in saying I be using the three rock signal strength ? Anyone else out this way using one?

Never buyin from this seller again

Is a tv licence required to view in this manner?

Yes, tv licence covers more than TVs these days
If you already have a licence though, this would cover it, and if you don't have one, and they aren't constantly knocking at your door, they aren't going to start if you bought one of these.

I didn't get a dispatch mail, but I mailed Ellieshang yesterday and got a response that it was sent on the 6th.

i got mine from ellieshang today - havent tried it out yet as i am in work, but will let ye know how i got on anyways

tried it out at home and the fecky little "antenna" that comes with it is red useless. got it working though with the cable from the aerial on the roof. had to hold the contacts in place long enough for me to verify it was working. scanned in the channels and had epg data and audio only. didnt bother getting the codecs etc sorted as I was only using it to verify the availability of DTT where I live, and I have done that now.

Any offers for a DTT USB stick with antenna?

This could be similar to the keyring camera - sounds great but novelty factor lasts a few minutes for most people.

I can only get reception if I hold the little antenna sideways 4 foot from the ground facing a certain direction.

Any tips on how to boost the signal and still keeping it mobile?

Got a dispatch email and still waiting. Seeing as people who ordered a week later than I did already have theirs I'm beginning to get worried

I ordered mine on the 6th Nov and it arrived yesterday. Didn't bother with the drivers or software. Worked straight away with Windows Media Centre. Got a brief look at Cowen's head before the reception went. I'll have to do some experimenting.

bbbbb

I got mine from here for €10

Shipping a little slow, took 3 weeks but works fine.
I had to go upstairs & hold the antenna to the window for the scan to work, but once the channels are found, it works down stairs with the antenna beside me on the couch!

I can confirm I ordered mine from lucknetwork at the end of October,and it was in my letterbox on the 11th November.

CourierCollie

Just to confirm mine arrived today from ellieshang. I was beginning to doubt them as it was dispatched on the 10th. Well worth the wait.

Its brilliant once it works.

Have found that it works better when connected to something metallic like a small tin (helps to keep it aimed in right direction). Radiator also useful for this purpose.

I have ordered a larger version of the antenna online and once I get it I will report back on whether it improves the signal.
